Water, but not just any water!
The human body is at least 60% water. Water is the main component of all bodily fluids. Water is involved is almost every bodily function. Water hydrates, heals, and detoxifies. There is no doubt about it; water is the most important substance for human health.
The average person doesn’t drink nearly enough water: 20% of people don’t drink any water at all and 42% of people only drink 2 glasses of water per day. Combine that with the fact that many of us consume coffee, pop, alcohol, milk, and juice which dehydrate the body further; most people are walking around chronically dehydrated. Dehydration is linked to many health problems; when there isn’t enough water to effectively move nutrients throughout the body and to clear toxins from the system things like diabetes, arthritis, asthma, depression, heartburn, headaches, just to name a few, are likely to develop.
So we know that water is necessary for basic human health, everyone has different needs as far as quantity is concerned, but a good rule of thumb is 1.5-2 litres daily. Seems simple enough: drink the recommended amounts of water and be healthy! Not so fast…..
Where are you getting your drinking water from? Most of us drink tap water which is likely contaminated with bacteria and definitely contaminated with chlorine, disinfectant products, heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and that’s only to name the most common.
When I started to learn about all of the things I was consuming along with my tap water I couldn’t possibly continue to drink it. I was revolted. I’d been using Brita filters for years, but wasn’t diligent in changing the filter and know that bacteria is often the result of such laziness. Also, to get ideal results, water must be cold to avoid the release of contaminants….I only drink room temperature water. The Brita was starting to feel like a second rate option.
I decided to have a reverse osmosis (RO) unit installed and I’ll never look back. RO can remove much smaller particles than a carbon block filter, particles about 100 times smaller! They rid the water of chlorine (in most cases), fluoride, bacteria, parasites, pesticides, solvents (if carbon filter is included), heavy metals, and minerals (which you can obtain through excellent diet and a quality supplement program).
Here’s what our looks like:
Unlimited clean drinking water, best investment ever! The company we went with is Neptune Systems, a small company that’s been around for years. 416 488 7072 if you want to inquire about their products and prices.
Cheers, to a contaminant free drink of water!
